Terror recruitment down in J&K, zero stone pelting incidents in 2025: Defence ministry

 Infiltration attempts along the Line of Control have significantly decreased in recent years. Local recruitment into terror ranks has also seen a steep and steady decline. However, ceasefire violations along the LoC experienced a sharp spike last year. The defence ministry attributes these changes to various government initiatives and policies. Growing tourism numbers indicate increasing stability and prosperity in the region. Infiltration attempts along the Line of Control have significantly decreased in recent years.
